lxc-template: enable chroot + chpasswd functionality for Busybox hosts · ce4c4ca4Bogdan Purcareata authored
This patch supports the scenario where a user wants to install a busybox container on a busybox host. When running the template, in order to change the root password, the template needs to do the chroot. On busybox-powered hosts, chroot is not part of the coreutils package - it's part of busybox. And the busybox implementation or chroot only works if it has /lib in the new root populated with the right binaries (or at least that's the solution I found to make it work). The temporarily bind-mounts /lib in the NEWROOT, chroots there, changes the password, goes back and unmounts. This set of operations is contained in a new MOUNT namespace, using the lxc-unshare call.
